I guess we can all fantasise about this and for me it would <i>have</i> to be a return to mid-1951. I was learning to do the waltz, foxtrot, tango etc in Jimmy Quinn's dance school. I was sixteen-and-a-half. Met my first true love, Stella, who was 23. I'd lied about my age, and because of this I had to leave her when I was 17, but she thought I'd be 18 and due to go into the armed services.<br /><br />I was a young and foolish lad who couldn't face Stella once I'd written a confessional letter of goodbye.<br /><br />50 years later I found her again but of course everything was different then. She was not the Stella I once knew; she had her own true love now, her husband.<br /><br />But it would be so lovely just to hold her and kiss her as it was in 1951. She <i> loved me too, then </i>, and I'd hurt her when I sent my goodbye letter to her.<br /><br />Oh Jo, you've really started something now! Go stand on the naughty step!<br /><br />PhilPhilipHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06811831703263176415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-87220251028672420622009-06-10T15:24:30.256-07:002009-06-10T15:24:30.256-07:00I would visit the future because it pisses me off ...I would visit the future because it pisses me off to know that I won't get to see the end of my kids stories( hopefully!) and won't know if we ever get flying cars and rocket packs and stuff.crone51https://www.blogger.com/profile/06831571973211180467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-21374679577635581512009-06-10T15:04:14.487-07:002009-06-10T15:04:14.487-07:00I'm happy with the time I'm in.

I would like to visit the past, not stay, and I would want to be an observer, as if I were on a safari. For every time that I think of that interests me is not a good time to be a woman. I would like to visit WWII era. I would like to meet the WACs and the WAVES and the AirWomen who hauled men and cargo. I would like to see shipbuilding, and aircraft building. I would like to visit all four of my grandparents who were active in the war. I would also like to see what things were like in other countries at that time. History that we learn in the US is quite slanted and from a US centered view. It was an ugly time in many ways, but also a catalyst for good things and innovations.Essiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11076813063073036018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1518800171649154035.post-5031669334475017432009-06-10T08:56:19.989-07:002009-06-10T08:56:19.989-07:00I would like to go back to sixties, with all that ...I would like to go back to sixties, with all that agitated times ans protests.

I would go back to a time when I was 6 or 7 and all my grandparents were alive. I miss them so much. I would love to see Mom and Dad and tell them what has been going on with my life lately.

I have always had an interest in the past, in history, and it would an adventure to travel back and see some of my ancestors, but I am also fascinated by the future and curious about what it holds.
